Triumph first announced their intent to enter the Indian market in January 2012, when they showcased a whole bunch of bikes from their stable at the Indian Auto Expo held in Delhi. Then there was news that their foray into the Indian market would be delayed to 2013, this happened as they had a change of management, they have been setting up a local factory near Bangaluru and because the company wanted to get most things right before entering this highly lucrative market.

Finally the company has announced that it would officially enter the market on 28th November 2013. It would announce its range of bikes to be offered in India closer to that date and also release details about its dealerships around the country.

The bikes will be assembled at a assembly plant in Manesar, Haryana while the main assembly plant is being completed, it should be operational by end 2013 or early 2014. Triumph will bring its bikes to India via the CKD (Completely Knocked-Down) unit method to keep pricing competitive.

The premium biking segment in India is flourishing with each passing year and companies like Harley Davidson are making the most out of it. Harley Davidson has started CKD assembly of the majority of its bikes in India so as to make them affordable and accessible. To rival the throne of Harley Davidson, its arch rival Triumph Motorcycles is all set to set its foot in India and give the Harley bikes a run for their money. The company’s Indian website is up and running and it has a complete list of models that will be making their way here, alongside the list of their dealerships in the country. The company will be launching 7 models in the first phase.

The bikes which have been chosen to spearhead the Indian operations are:

Bonneville

Street Triple

Speed Triple

Daytona 675

Tiger 800 XC

Thunderbird Storm

Rocket III

In the first round, the company will be opening up dealerships in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore. These will be joined by Pune, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Chennai, Hyderabad, Cochin and Goa. The company has not revealed the pricing of the bikes but it is expected to launch them via the CKD route right from the start instead of going via the CBU route initially and later on switching to the CKD route.

The bikes will be rolled off from the facility installed at Manesar, the company’s Bengaluru facility will become operational by 2015 which will have an installed capacity of 2,50,000 units per annum. The bikes have had a delay in launch due to a slew of issues and the CEO of the company quit even before the official launch, but thankfully everything seems to be in order now for its entry to the Indian market. The sales of the iconic bike manufacturer are expected to start as soon as October 2013 which is the festive season in India.
